Bradford Council’s Executive will be asked to approve plans to build a new short-stay care home facility in Saltaire when it meets next week. The report will go before Executive on Tuesday, 5 October and proposes to build a new care home facility in Saltaire to provide short-stay beds for older people in need of respite or leaving hospital, allowing the planned closure of two small older short-stay homes that are no longer fit for purpose. The whole scheme will be specifically designed to support people who are living with dementia and their families providing short-term care in partnership with health services to rehabilitate and support people back in to the community and would cost an estimated £9.3m to build. The proposal is that two older council care homes, Beckfield and Woodward Court, which mainly provide short-stay beds and are no longer fit for purpose buildings will be closed upon the opening of the new 50 bed home at Saltaire. Cllr Sarah Ferriby, Bradford Council’s Executive Member for Healthy People and Places, said: “This new facility will provide modern accommodation in a purpose built facility. In Bradford we want people to live healthy, happy lives, where they are in control and able to make the best lifestyle choices for themselves and their families. This new facilities will provide person centred care and support and promote choices and independence.” |
